German Pinscher is there. 7:25

[@elizabeth6540]

@ thanks so much, I’ll add it

[@LazyLoonLazarus]

You should edit the akita to be American Akita as it's a different breed than the Japanese akita. Also such a shame chinook couldn't be present, native american dog breeds deserve more recognition

[@GatehseMstf]

​@@LazyLoonLazarusthe "American Akita" is called the Akita in AKC. No reason to edit to call it the incorrect thing. There aren't many Chinooks showing, at least in this area. None were entered in this show, unfortunately.

[@thelifepolice]

How come German shepherd isn’t on this category?

[@lavenderghosts]

I haven't even finished the video yet but I'm in awe at the judge in the gold dress and bob, she is SERVING - so glamorous!!

[@Southerngrl]

I agree. Wish we as ladies had the opportunity to dress up more often. She looked amazing.

[@katsybo]

I thought the same.

[@37jamjam]

The malamute barking at the crowd when they woudnt stop cheering him on was hilarious😂

[@osakarose5612]

Loved that Malamute! Glad he placed.

[@moni_acnh1143]

18:13 The samoyed is absolutely GORGEOUS

[@busybee4436]

That Doberman is absolutely stunning! And that graceful and athletic gait is a pleasure to watch. Having been blessed to be loved by three of them, I write this with tears in my eyes. RIP to Penny, Dixie, and Apollo.

[@Jewlietoo]

Oh! I read your comment, brought tears to my eyes - then saw your @busybee4436 and lost it 😢. I had a Boston Terrier, Belize, her nickname was Busybee, I lost her 9/1. I’m still blindsided by little things. And Doberman’s are wonderful! I grew up with one, her name was Phoenix. Take care my friend! 😊

Some of the sweetest dogs I've known were Dobermans.

Giant and standard schnauzers are gorgeous. I do like the black russian is also stunning. This entire group has stunning dogs.

Not only goodest, best of their breed.

[@twasbrillig33]

all are INCREDIBLE examples of their breed and it would have been extremely difficult to choose, but I can see why the Giant won, magnificent

[@VictoriaN72]

The dogs probably think the crowd is a mass of howling wolves😂

[@twasbrillig33]

HAHAHA!

[@danacasey8543]

What a difficult decision! All wonderful representatives of their breeds!

[@Yosetime]

Actually, no. To see livestock guardian breeds with their coats groomed and cut into the most unnatural, unrealistic, and embarrassing ways to appeal to a judge or an audience visually wants is ludicrous! It is both unhealthy and insulting for a double coated working dog to have their coat cut purely for cosmetic reasons. This practice also misrepresents what these breeds are supposed to look like, what they look like in real life and on the job. I've had people tell me that my pyrenees is 'too big' because she is a real pyrenees and does not fit into the AKA 'breed standards' which are based on show dogs who are vastly smaller and more delicate than real working dogs. It's very disheartening. It was nice to see the short haired dogs here, like the Doberman, who's hair really can't be manipulated so much, look exactly like a Doberman should. All the dogs with 'hairstyles' were goofy and silly, other than the giant schnauzer who won, who's haircut was only bearable because it was well done and because his excellent conformation stood out more than the hair cut. If a dog show is supposed to be a true representation of a breed, nobody would be messing with their hair. Especially in working dogs. But dog shows are not really about the actual breeds. They are simply about a fantasy world like modeling and fashion shows and such. Entertainment for people. It doesn't really matter who wins. Nobody cares outside of show folks themselves. Certainly the dogs don't care who wins. They would just like to go outside and roll in some dirt to get all that junk off of their hair.

[@CarrinRenee]

I would hate to have to pick. There are some beautiful dogs in this group

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

i am biased, but Rottweilers will always be my absolute favorite. this is my favorite group though, all so dang adorable and have grown up around so many of them. i would love if they updated and allowed Rotties their tails in the modern age though.

[@ilovecanines]

I like the way some of the handlers are smooching their dogs, but I hate the fact that they're still cropping the ears of some of these breeds.

[@joneslo5572]

I agreed. Cropping ears and docking tails are so unnecessary.

[@MiTmite9]

Terrible that they crop, I agree.

[@DogoArgentinoUSA]

Beautiful gate on the Dogo Argentino ❤

[@twatts1523]

Yes, he seemed like a phenomenal dog, with such twinkling loving eyes!

[@Southernly]

The Newfoundland, Watson, is spectacular! He looks great!

[@GatehseMstf]

The Newf's name is Gambino. (GCHS Bowater's Five Families)

[@BojtheNewf]

That is Gambino. :) RBISS MBISS GCHS Bowaters Five Families.

[@GatehseMstf]

​@@SouthernlyDifferent handler as well. Dave Musto shows Watson, and Gambino's handler is Ryan Platt. Both tall guys though, I can see where they can look similar if you don't know both of them. ❤

[@Yosetime]

He did not look great. What an embarrassing 'hairstyle'. That is not what they naturally look like. It should be a crime to make such a magnificent animal look like a cartoon.

[@priscillasherwood9038]

Love the bernese

[@pattiwhite9575]

Yes would have been in my top 3

[@Moose-x9o]

Our Berner is still the best. Love our good boy. An outstanding breed, Kudos to all dog owners out there!

[@SissyFlower5]

Dogo Argentino has such an honest face. I would trust that guy with anything

[@Justcanadianjanjan]

The massive Russian black dog was BEAUTIFUL! I’ve never heard of that breed… nor the giant schnauzer. Wow, although hubby and I are cat people, you have to admire these creatures and their majestic appearance! We babysat a St. Bernard one weekend and our walls were all snot but she was pretty great !!! Sad to see Abby go back to her owner. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄☃️

[@nancytestani1470]

Great Pryramids…outstanding

[@paisley1134]

[@violettbellerose1173]

I like how the reporter at the end doesn't try to pet the dogs and respects their space, even if these are show dogs used to being handled 💗

[@memeh1290]

Love the Giant Schnauzer. We lost our 4 year old Giant 11 months ago. Miss him very much! So proud of Monty!

[@erinsparkman6399]

The pyr giving side eye and falling asleep is very pyr

[@Yosetime]

@@erinsparkman6399 very pyr!!. Although I didn't think this particular dog was a very good representation of the actual breed in terms of how it looked and the way it was groomed. I'm just amazed that any pyr would allow such a fluffy groom and then willingly follow a person to stand in that lineup for that long and not actually lay down and have a nap. He should have won just because he was there!

[@nancytestani1470]

Just love them all. Just beautiful big top dog breeds.

[@maribelru2011]

I’m sorry but I cannot say which dog I think is the cutest. They all have my heart ❤❤❤❤

[@nancytestani1470]

Happy Leonberger..personality plus

[@Gatita-Oso]

GREAT PYR, KUVAZ ARE MY FAVE BUT ABSOLUTELY THINK AKBASH SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED *

[@twatts1523]

That was the first time I was a Kuvaz, what a lovely breed! ❤

[@Yosetime]

@@Gatita-Oso I would have liked to have seen an Akbash as well. They are remarkably like the Great Pyrenees in most ways, including work, so I would love to see those two standing side by side. The problem is, these are show dogs. Which means they look nothing like the real dogs, or show a true representation of their breeds unfortunately.

[@realityjunky]

That Husky is amazing!!!

[@MiTmite9]

I thought the Husky would win for sure. Really did.

[@realityjunky]

Gorgeous Great Pyrenees. I absolutely love mine. 💖

[@nope748]

Samoyed absolutely robbed, what a majestic, beautiful, shiny big cloud 🥺

[@p.l.packer7108]

Stop ear cropping

[@klee88029]

It is part of the standards for some of the breeds because when they (not the show dogs here) are working, doing the jobs they were meant to do, there is less chance of them getting torn off when fighting off lions and tigers and bears and wolves.

[@MiTmite9]

@@klee88029 Stop cropping. Period. No rationalization can excuse the fact that the practice is cruel and completely unnecessary.

[@klee88029]

@@MiTmite9 Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I offered to explanation, no more, no less. Tell the AKC, not me. I don't set the standards for each breed nor do I support docking and cropping.

[@widowprepper4292]

Akita and Komandor❤

[@Blitzkrieg2002]

The Boxer should've at least placed, if not won. They're one of the best looking, and just all around great dogs to have.

[@Yosetime]

That's not how dogs shows work bud. All these dogs are great dogs to have. All of them look awesome, although a couple of them were poor examples of the real breeds, like the pyrenees here didn't even look like a real pyrenees and that goofy hair cut on the beautiful Newfoundlander was embarrassing. But judges don't choose winners because they "are all around great dogs to have".

[@MichelleAkins-sq6eb]

Best judge of the whole show!!! Love how she congratulated each one!!!

[@jenihansen7201]

I love Dobermans. They are the best.

[@nissan_skyline]

Man, look at these dogs. The finest representation of their respective breeds. Doberman Pinscher, Samoyed and the Akita are my favorite. So beautiful.

[@MiTmite9]

My favorite, too, in this competition. I don't think they make great pets (always wanting to run off; needing tons of exercise), but the Husky really looked like a champion to me.

[@biggatorcaesar]

Bullmastiff ❤❤❤❤

[@bettysmith2142]

Beautiful dogs🎉🎉🎉

[@Southerngrl]

Imo this class of dogs are the best ever! Working dogs are truly misunderstood. Sadly many become house pets w/no purpose but to protect and have gained a bad rap. I think its harder to get a wrkn dog breed bc most humans don't understand their desire and drive to work. I'm so thankful for my mutt, he's introduced me to the boxer breed. We had a Bernese and she was amazing. Nvr had a better dog than n her until now. Loved my husky but it had ZERO protection ability. I see a lot of comments, about dobies and wldnt mind trying to rescue one as my next service dog. I too wish one of these beauties cld win best in show. Beautiful dogs in this group.

Sure would be nice if the network had captioned the names of the dog breeds. I'm familiar with most dog breeds... Many viewers are not.

[@GatehseMstf]

The announcer names each breed and tells a little something about them during each dog's individual exam.

[@twatts1523]

@@GatehseMstfyes, but often knowing how to spell the name of the breed helps to make note to do further research. This was my introduction to Kuvaz breed. And I wasn’t sure how to spell it, but I read a comment.

[@studio107bgallery4]

I love dog shows they’re just so awesome to see world class dogs all together. My only pet peeve is they give them too many treats. I think the dog at this level should be able to perform without the treats until the end… my dogs can do all these tricks without any treats at all. They can prance and roll over and sit and dance and shake and do all sorts of dog tricks just for the fun of it..

[@tinaranson6172]

Leo berger?Wow. They’re all so great.

[@Yosetime]

30:41 How disrespectful to treat your dog like that in front of a judge! Absolute worst handler. Knows nothing about dogs or showing.

[@MiTmite9]

I hope she's only the personal handler and not the person who actually owns and cares for the dog. That smack was outrageous.

[@Yosetime]

@@MiTmite9 Agreed! Especially because it was done almost automatically, like she'd done that before. Probably didn't mean to do it in front of the judge....but...muscle memory and bad habits are tough to hide when you're under pressure. I sure do hope she was just the handler and will no longer doing this work after that.

[@MiTmite9]

These are the most pampered and protected dogs you'll ever see. It would be extremely rare for any of these dogs to ever be allowed to actually do the "job" they were bred to do. Too much is at stake, monetarily. What if the dog got a scratch on its face or anything happened to damage that perfect look? The dogs are showpieces, raised to breed and make money. Sad, really.
